Wanted Rosazissimo Green Louboutins

Want want want want, I'm sick with envy for the gorgeous green Rosazissimo Louboutin shoes that I have seen on the feet of beautiful brides but cannot find them anywhere!!!
To be honest I could never allow myself to spend so much money on a pair of shoes for my wedding. Rob and I are marrying in a field, so my heels will have to be carried with my bouquet until I am on firmer ground, even then, they will be kicked off 10 mins into the disco. Therefore I could not spend approx £400 on a pair of shoes that I wasn't actually going to wear!
With the elusive green shoes unavailable, I trawled the internet for alternatives, with a few possibles, still in the region of a couple hundred pounds. I decided to head into Manchester and see what the stores had to offer.
I stumbled across my wedding shoes in Office (which are nothing like the ones pictured Rob!!!!) in fact it was the Office Sale shop off St Annes Square. I climbed into them and could not stop smiling! The shoes are ludicrous, I cannot describe them at this stage as Rob wants everything to be a surprise, but I can say that there is no way I could possibly wear them outside, without support, let alone in a field. So I was more than thrilled to see that they had been price slashed to a tiny £30.
I put in a call to my good friend, and style guru Kate Deakin, describing the almost comic shoes, and the Louboutin predicament. She sensibly suggested that if I am wearing my shoes for probaly just the morning, whilst getting ready at my mum's, then I should plump for the cheapies that are making me grin from ear to ear.

I still would buy the green shoes if I found them at a reasonable price on ebay, as I know I would wear them time and again. But I am happy with my wedding shoes, a pair I will never wear again, but will keep in a special memory box. The shoes are now at my Mum's ready for the big day. I have had a few practice sessions in them, as have my 9 and 6 year old nieces, and 3 year old nephew. Not one of us have broken an ankle yet, and they still make me grin when I'm wearing them. I can't wait to show them off properly, but for a teaser, think Ziggy Stardust meets pole dancing bride.

Rossendale Pole Dancing

Since the closure of Vibe Studio in Edenfield intermediate and advanced pole students have been without a venue for pole tuition. Former Vibe tutors Marble aka Andrea and Stacey have been offering in home tuition, providing pole and mats for those without their own. This can be on a 1-2-1 basis or group class.

I have been having lessons with Stacey in my front room, with neighbour and good friend Tabatha. The home lessons are great but we have really missed the group of fellow students that became our friends, monthly get togethers have been fun, but a darn sight more difficult to arrange than just popping into the studio.

So you can imagine my joy when I heard the news on the grapevine that a new studio is on the horizon, and I am currently developing the website, www.viceversastudio.co.uk work in progress so be patient :-)

In the meantime you can book tuition with Marble and Stacey through Marble Pole see their facebook page for details http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=187504703350&ref=ts

I want to offer all the best to the girls, cannot wait to test drive the new space xxx

Video Production - Year 1

Again.. you editors, producers and directors can feel safe, I am not the new wonderwoman eager to threaten your roles!

Here is our introduction to Video Post Production assignment.  It was the first and only time that we were introduced to Premiere Pro.  I have used it since but only to cut sound (my trial of Soundbooth ran out).

We were given 20 mins of footage to cut a 30 sec trailer.

I actually did a 30 sec version of the film, there was no 'tease' and told the full story, so I lost marks for that.

This to date was and hopefully will be, my lowest mark.



Final Mark: 64 = 2:1

Audio Post Production - First attempt

In fact... this is our only assignment that was purely sound.

We had a video track with a black out section in the middle.  We were to find a muscial track and add sound effects to sell the movie.

Not my best work, but then I am not pursing an career in sound so fear not!

I am unable to upload the file so here is the youtube link..

Final Marks: 67 = 2:1

First ever Uni assignment!

Our first assignment was to produce a poster, DVD cover or book cover with the theme Fantasy. We were to use Adobe Photoshop for the final piece and to submit a portfolio showing the development of our ideas, as well as an essay about our hopes and fears as we start the four year degree. We have not had our portfolios returned, but as soon as I do I will be scanning in and displaying here. The portfolio will explain in detail how I came up with the idea, but in brief, I had been reading Skellig by David Almond and was inspired by this angel like creature, perhaps having evolved from humans or another lifeform. This started my studies of seeds and chrysalis, how they grow, evolve and the cycle of life. Watch this space for the portfolio.
